Laura Brown is the parent of Ethan, an autistic 5 year old, who is non-speaking & a proud user of an AAC device. Laura is also autistic herself & was late-diagnosed a year after her son’s diagnosis.

Whilst Laura at first was thrown into an entirely new world she has since found her passion & drive for all things autism, SEND education & assistive technology. Ethan’s AAC use has been life changing for their family & now Laura proudly shares their AAC & SEND family story via her @SpinningWorldOfAutism social media accounts.

This has seen her speaking at the Houses of Parliament, writing an article for The National Autistic Society magazine, being Keynote Speaker at Communication Works, featured on National Radio & TV & supporting many families along the way with her families lived experience & knowledge.

Laura's a proud bibic Ambassador to give something back to a charity who supported her family at a time when they needed it most.
